STEM Career Opportunities

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, (STEM) is a national initiative
to prepare young Americans for today’s and tomorrow’s jobs, ensuring that our country
remains a leader in technology and innovation. Some of STEM’s goals are to engage
in community outreach activities, provide internship, research, and teaching opportunities
for AHC students, and to improve and streamline the transfer process of AHC students
to California State Universities and University of California schools.

Agriculture is a much broader field than most are familiar with. Careers are not limited
to production-based farming, as is traditionally thought. In fact, most of the agriculture
industry is science-based and the need for cutting-edge research and development is
at its highest.

From solving crop growth problems locally, to troubleshooting hydrology issues in
third world countries, agriculture is increasingly being recognized as one STEM’s
most diverse and in-demand fields of study.
